Lying on the table in the conference room, Li Ling held his head in his hands, and from the afternoon to the present, the entire conference room was accompanied by the sound of quarrels almost all the time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Li Ling never thought that it was so easy when the first regiment was formed, but how could it be that now, it is just an expansion, but there are so many troubles.
According to Li Ling's conception, Li Ling's Huaxia 1st Division has actually completely gotten rid of the conventional composition model of division-level units of the German Wehrmacht, and his troops do not have such a complicated division of labor and subdivisions, and the subdivision is a communications battalion, an anti-tank battalion, or an artillery regiment, an infantry brigade, and the like, and even a special bread-making company.
His idea was to form a purely mechanized army, and now he has not asked Keitel for equipment, but he has to come back to arrange the recruitment of the troops, and the specific things can only be implemented after returning to Berlin.
According to Li Ling's idea, the Huaxia First Division should be composed of two armored brigades and a motorized infantry brigade, and then a self-propelled artillery detachment and an engineer battalion, and other things such as logistics support detachments and repair companies should all be integrated into each brigade.
However, Li Ling's idea is good, but when it is really implemented, it seems to have become an unattainable fantasy, which is also the reason why there are endless quarrels in the regimental headquarters that have been upgraded to the division headquarters at this moment, this seemingly beautiful idea, there are too many places to discuss, and when it is discussed casually, there are all kinds of differences, and the quarrels caused by these differences last from the afternoon to midnight, and there is still no intention of stopping.
The conference room is not very big, and there are not many people, but it is such a small number of people, but there is a lot of noise.
"Isn't it because there aren't enough people arguing about you? Then it's a big deal for us to form a brigade first, and then a second brigade and a third brigade little by little, so that we can? β
Li Ling's idea was very simple, thinking that this method could also solve the problem of serious shortage of personnel in front of him, but in fact, Li Ling forgot another very important factor caused by the expansion: the promotion of the original personnel of the first regiment directly under him!
All people will be promoted more or less in the future, but the level of promotion will be determined at the moment when the Huaxia First Division is formed!
This is a great opportunity, if once the Huaxia First Division is formally formed, it is almost impossible for such a large area of officer vacancies to appear at that time, so whoever can get a good position first now will definitely have endless benefits for future development.
Moreover, when they were assigned to the first regiment directly under them, many of them came with the opportunity to seek qualifications and then get promoted, but now that the opportunity has come, all kinds of open and secret battles have immediately begun.
There are only a handful of German officers like Kirsch who have been arranged to come in as their own home.
"Division commander, I don't think this is appropriate, we should first set down the commanders of each unit, so that we can directly let each unit start the recruitment work at the same time, and the corresponding training work can also be carried out at the same time, wouldn't it be better for the troops to operate directly in this way?"
It sounded like a more reasonable suggestion, but it just woke up Li Ling, and it was only at this time that he suddenly realized that no matter where people go, no matter which country or race, as long as there are interests, they will always think about how to maximize their interests first. These people, I'm afraid that what they are thinking about at this time is how to win the position of deputy division commander and the brigade commander who are still vacant until now!
"What you said also makes sense, then in that case, let's first form a self-propelled artillery detachment, the level is battalion level, the commander of the detachment and various important posts I will go to other troops to ask for people, this thing can't be played by ordinary people. Then a motorized infantry battalion will be formed, and the chief of staff of the battalion and company will give me a specific list of personnel when the battalion and company commander will give me a specific list of personnel, as for the rest, it will be put here first, and the first regiment directly under it will be renamed the first regiment of the first armored brigade of the first division of Huaxia, and the brigade headquarters will not be set up for the time being, the original personnel of the regiment headquarters will remain unchanged, and the regiment commander and chief of staff will be empty first, and then listen to my arrangement! β
Li Ling's words continued, directly extinguishing everyone's thoughts, to put it bluntly, now except for Li Ling who has become the division commander and Kirsch who has become the division chief of staff with the rank of major, all the other people have not changed, and it sounds like there will be no change at all for a while.
"Chief of Staff, the affairs of the division will be handed over to you for the time being, I may have been staying in Berlin recently, so you have to work hard, in addition, there is one more thing, you can do the recruitment work to your heart's content, no matter whether the personnel are insufficient or seriously exceeded, you will throw the extra people to the motorized infantry battalion for me, and then I will make a decision on the specific matters when I come back, and I will explain your military rank to Keitel at that time, you are busy, I will go out and go around!"
Li Ling spoke very indifferently and relaxedly, but with an unquestionable majesty!
With such a small episode, Li Ling's originally excited mood calmed down a little at this time, it seemed that he was still too naΓ―ve to think, through the meeting just now, Li Ling felt more and more a sense of urgency, he urgently needed a force completely under his control.
Although the first regiment directly under them was formed by themselves, and these people followed them to fight almost half of France, there are still some of these people who do not regard the first regiment directly under them as a home, and some people just regard this place as a springboard for their careers!
Either weed out these people, or find a way to make them completely identify with this force, this is the top priority, Li Ling is not a person who intends to be a soldier in the German Wehrmacht for the rest of his life, his future battlefield is in Asia, in that island country like an earthworm!
What he needs is a soldier who is absolutely obedient to him, a soldier who has no attachment to the rights given by Germany, what he wants is a force that bears the imprint of his Li Ling from the inside out, and what he wants is a force that can stand behind him when he can fight the world with him and stand behind him whenever necessary!
Perhaps, their own troops should follow the example of the Soviet Red Army or the People's Liberation Army, they need a soul, this army needs a soul!
Huaxia First Division needs a kind of soul! (To be continued.) )
